A blog about my life with rheumatoid arthritis and all that goes along with it. The ups and downs. The highs and lows. The laughter and the tears. Sounds so dramatic, doesn't it?!

A TRIP TO THE EAST COAST?

I am planning a trip to go see my parents in Delaware. I have this urge to get out of town and go visit someone familiar. Unfortunately my friend S is traveling in the Northeast or I would go to Florida and see her. I decided to see my mom because she will not talk about any topics I don't want to talk about.

A lot has changed over the last week and I need to spend some time contemplating what to do. Going to a place where no one will bring up any topics I don't want to talk about is good. Sometimes I need a place to think. Go to a beach and read a book. Sit by a pool and think.

About Me

WELCOME!
I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis almost 20 years ago but I know I have had it for longer. I was lucky that once the symptoms became evident, I was diagnosed quickly and put on medication quickly. I know that makes me one of the lucky few. I have a diagnosis of Adrienne's Disease which consists of Rheumatoid Arthritis, Sjogren's Syndrome, Pernicious Anemia, Raynaud's Disease, and Interstitial Cystitis.
I live with my two dogs (Happi and Lucky) and bird (Sunshine, Sunny for short). We call Happi the "Big Dog" and Lucky the "little dog".
I am fortunate to work for myself as a consultant after working for many years at "regular" jobs.
This blog was created to tell my story and to help others understand and learn more about the world of RA/chronic autoimmune diseases. It will be a place of education, advocacy, storytelling and humor. I know I could not get through this without lots of laughter! They say it is the best medicine (after my Enbrel, Prednisone, and Topomax)!
